About the LitBuy shorts spreadsheet

On a budget? Every category's cheapest picks are on LitBuy finds under $20 and under $50.

Every find in this section opens directly on LitBuy.

The usual sizing caution applies doubled: athletic shorts run short and small. Check the length measurement — a 7-inch and a 5-inch inseam look very different — and size up for anything meant to fit loose.

Mesh shorts, denim shorts, swim trunks and jorts — the summer-haul section. Eric Emanuel-style mesh pairs and designer-style swim shorts are the volume movers here, most of them between $9 and $31, and their light weight makes them nearly free to add to an existing parcel.

The median find here costs $18. Open a find to see the seller's photos, sizes and price, then press Buy on LitBuy. Before you do, check the QC photos other buyers got for that listing; the find's own page does it for you.

Sizing is what people get wrong most often on shorts: the letter varies between sellers, so read the seller's centimetre chart and compare it with something you already own.

Shorts questions

Should I size up?

Yes, once, for basically all athletic shorts on Chinese sizing. Check the cm waist like you would with pants.

Do mesh shorts match retail quality?

The popular batches use the same two-layer mesh construction. QC photos show the drawcord, embroidery and liner clearly — those are the tells.

What's the shipping weight on shorts?

Around 300 g — among the cheapest items to add to any haul.
